The jump condition fixes the sign

Consider the boundary value problem (BVP) (e^(−5x)y′)′ + 6e^(−5x)y = −f(x), 0 < x < ln 2, with y(0) = 0, y(ln 2) = 0. If Be^(2x))(Ce De for , and BeCe^(2x) + De^(3x)) for Green's function) is such that is the solution of the BVP, then the values of B, C and D are

  1. A.B = −2, C = −1, D = 1
  2. B.B = −2, C = 1, D = −1
  3. C.B = 2, C = 1, D = 1
  4. D.B = 2, C = −1, D = −1

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
